If you cannot find something in the list which tickles your fancy, and you want to get involved somehow, you can email gsa@trentu.ca. If you have found something that rubbed you the right way than go ahead and email us and we can send a more descriptive description (hehe) of what the position entails and the time commitment involved. Keep in mind that many of the above positions do not hold regular meetings and therefore do not take much time commitment.
